Best Answer

Mammoths were a big-dangerous animal in their land, one that they hunted. The presence of mammoths diminished because of humans. Cavemen drew on cave walls because they were developing awareness, they were seeing themselves in their world (and mammoths were in their world). That was the beginning of the brilliant, awful reign of humans on earth. We became very sentient.
